The Best Contouring Kits for Beginners

What is your goal when you apply makeup? For many of us, we want to accentuate our best facial features including our eyes and lips. Did you know there is a way to define your cheekbones, slim your face, and shape your nose? It’s called contouring, the latest makeup trend that has been popular specially among celebrities such as Kylie Jenner, Gigi Handid, Kat Von D, and Kim Kardashian.

If you’re a beginner, the best way to learn is by using a contouring kit that has everything you need for the perfect look. You can purchase any of the following contouring kits at your nearest Sephora!

What some makeup gurus had to say about this kit:

“I got it, applied it, and loved it!! I got so many compliments on it!” –Kirawwh

“This was my very first contour kit and let me tell you it is worth every penny you spend! The colors are so pigmented and flatter my skin tone very well (fair skin). The highlight shade is also very brightening for underneath the eyes and sculpt your features very well! Definitely recommend 100%.”

What some makeup gurus had to say about this kit:

“Best one I have tried to date as it has grey undertones so, it looks natural when applied properly.” –eurogal

“I got the shade Ivoire and I fell in love. My main issue with contouring was that I kept getting products too warm or orange for my face and looked unnatural. But the Lancome Le Duo stick in Ivoire has grey undertones and looks 100% natural on my skin!” –melisamartinez

What some makeup gurus had to say about this kit:

“I had to write a review for this product because it is amazing. The powders are very pigmented so you don’t need much when you dab your brush in the product.” –bigem

“I have tried a few other contouring kits prior to this, and this by far is the best. None of the colors ever look too warm or too cool once on the skin, blending very fluid. Love the highlighting tones as well, perfect to help hide my chronic under eye circles.” –nicoam
